We're having mucho problemeros getting the Sun Laserwriter Kit to function
properly with a QMS-PS810.  Enscript works fine.  However, ptroff works OK
with the normal Times font only.  Whatever we try to generate Helvetia or
any other font in the QMS fails - we get Times always.  We're not troff
novices either so I figure we're going wrong somewhere else.  There are
over a dozen fonts in the QMS and enscript can get to them.  It's just
troff that seems to have problems.  Any suggestions?  And yes, we have
called the Sun support line.  Need I say more?  That's why I'm asking
here!  Thanks in advance,
